Heritage Performance Series Presents ...
La Angry Xicana?!
A stand-up comedy performance by Adelina Anthony
Friday, April 25, 2008 @ 8:00 p.m. in the Cooperage
Adelina's new, full-length stand-up comedy features her trademark salacious, brazen, Spanglish humor and flirts with all kinds of cultural taboos. "La Angry Xicana?!" weaves together critiques on Hollywood, the U.S. corporate media, purported lesbian gang epidemics, The L Word, conservative politics, LGBT community health issues, religious icons, post-welfare life, and the semi-sacred courtship that happens only among queer womyn of color. As in other works, the show commits to positioning lesbian Xicana/Latinas as the ideal viewership and operates from a queer/feminist/indigenous critical lens. In Adelina's relentless commitment to blur genre boundaries, she couches this solo work in the stand-up comedy genre, but decidedly infuses it with moments of high theatricality and also relies on the oral tradition of storytelling for maximum effect. More importantly, using comedy as a weapon of choice, the show examines possible sources of contemporary and historical anger among womyn of color. (Oh, and people, she's really not angry… she's just getting even!)
